My middle dd is 13.5, Year 9. She's been showing some pretty common teen behaviour lately - moods, strops, attitude and rudeness.
I by and large try to ignore it and less it pass over which it usually does pretty quickly. But is this the best way to deal with it? I feel uncomfortable not pulling her up on being rude to me.
Yesterday I picked her up from the station after staying late at school for a rehearsal (she could have got the bus home but I said I would pick her up). All started well, she was chatting about her day, then I asked a simple question about what she was telling me and her mood changed instantly. She didn't tell me the rest of the story and I was 'so annoying'. We carried on the journey home in silence. The rest of the evening she had calmed down but was pretty sarcastic and eye rolling for the rest of the evening.
